Last week, Mayor Carty Finkbeiner announced that he was going to combine garage facilities and that the city would save $500,000 by doing so.

This was great news and very welcomed by residents, especially because these cost savings had not previously been identified in any of the proposals or ideas for addressing the city's budget deficit.

So here's my question. Since the city just came up with $500,000 in savings they didn't previously have, do we still need to impose fire department billing which they 'hoped' would generate $500,000????

According to Carty, his balanced budget contained $500,000 of new income from these fees, but did not include the garage consolidation. With the consolidation saving $500,000, there is obviously no need for new fees of $500,000.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, you should know that the "logic" rule also applies to blog posts you make too.

As Brian would say, yer outa here ;-)

(With that kind of setup, I couldn't resist.)

king czarty has a bigger hole to cover than this "piddling" %.5 Mil. could even make a decent start on, so anyone following should report to work with a broom and a shovel, because they're going to need it. . .
